Playtime at Dawn in the Sandbox

Author Note: So this was supposed to be posted yeasterday NaruGaa Fan day but saddly I had no internets as I had hoped I would, and thus I wasn't able to enter it in a contest either. *sad* But I would not deprive my fans from the wonderful smut that is NaruGaa. This story takes place after "In the beginning there was but two" and before "Voyerism, a game meant for three". Sasuke had yet to get his ass kicked and dragged back to konoha for his trial, but we are not to far off from that plot thread... if I were to write the epic that is. lol So read and enjoy, and yes I'm aware this would be highly uncomfortable. ^^

Edit: I'm a dork... thanks so much to Prism0467 lol I totally thought that it said June26 I really did. hahahaa So never mind then, besides this wasn't my best work between these two anyway. XDD (I have trouble putting NaruGaa together without Sasu these days. *is a dork*) Anyway I shall write something far more spectacular for the real NAruGaa Fan Day! Yay. Later folks.

“Playtime at Dawn in the Sandbox”


The wind blew past him whipping back his long burgundy coat and hair and he took a deep breath in, eyes closed and relaxed as he shifted the sand dunes around him just before dawn, the coldest time of the day. The air tasted of earth and animals scurrying in fear of the moving ground, it smelt clean, crisp and cool. He twitched his fingers and the sand came caressing around his outstretched arms and fingers soothingly, the beast within growled, the low timbre rumbling up his insides filling him with power.

He always came out here under the stars, far away from the city when he was unable to sleep and practiced until the sun peeked up over the ridge warming the air around. It was always best to make sure he had complete control of the demon, especially now that he had been reunited with him. Gaara sighed, tonight was particularly hard after meeting up with the rogue Uchiha. He’d battled him and had almost won…

He shifted his feet further apart and bent his knees swinging his right arm our in front of him while drawing in his left close to him. The air still, the sand made no sound he held that position his eyes still closed. It was no easy task to hold everything so perfectly still, it took concentration, with his spirit and mind fully quiet in order to accomplish such a feat. Outside his bubble of stillness he could feel the world around him press up against it but he held to his tranquility.

Quickly he shifted his left arm out turning his palms upward and the sand rose straight into the air with a twirl. Bringing his arms tight against his sides, his palms still up he brought the sand to swirl around his body, the force of the chakra he was wielding moving his clothes wildly about his unmoving body. His concentration wavered and the sand dispersed to casually float about him controlled by Shukaku.

Gaara sighed and dropped his arms at his sides opening his eyes to see the sun cresting the horizon in the distance. Already he could feel the temperature changing around him, but he wasn’t quite ready to leave.

//YoU SHOulD HaVe JuSSt KiiLLed HiM.// Shukaku screeched.

Gaara frowned, that he should have but Naruto wanted to be the one that did it if it needed to be done. It had been by sheer chance that he’d even bumped into the guy to begin with. Sasuke’s eyes were no different than the time before, only when he’d mentioned that Naruto wished to take him home…

//TrIICkss he hAtess the BlOnd. BEsiDes he UseD thAt MOmeNt tO gEt to YoU.// Shukaku reminded him.

Gaara’s eyes narrowed on nothing in particular, that was also true. Still it could be a coincidence that he attacked shortly after being surprised. Though the beast had a point, it was better to assume the worse. One thing he had learned from his father was never let ones guard down. It had been his mistake, it would not happen a second time.

//The BlONd is ClOse…// Shukaku hissed.

Slowly Gaara turned around to see said nin come up over the sand dune and wave at him. It would figure Naruto could find him out in the middle of nowhere at four in the mourning. Rising his arms up he crossed them in front of his chest and nodded at Naruto. If he had come all this way there was a reason for it, Gaara would possibly not like it.

“Hey Gaalra! Kyuu said you were done moving all the sand around so I came closer.” He said coming up to stand in front of him.

Gaara’s eyes widened fractionally before going back to normal. How long had he been there?

“That was pretty fuckin’ cool by the way. Wish I could do that shit.” He added when Gaara stayed silent.

“How long were you watching?”

Naruto seemed to blush at the question which peeked Gaara’s interest a pale brow rising in question. In his usual nervous nature he reached an arm back behind his head and scratched at blond hair and laughed.

“Guess I’ve been watchin’ about an hour or so.”

“An hour? I do not see how you could do such a thing for that long.”

Naruto’s sky blue eyes looked away towards the rising sun and his body langue turned to one of embarrassment.

//His SEnT HaSss ChAnGEd tOO.// Shukaku tuned him in.

“I uh, couldn’t sleep and knew you didn’t really either.” Naruto paused before continuing, “so I come to find out you’re way out here, Kyuu’s good for something ya know.”

Gaara watched Naruto wince, Kyuubii more than likely had said something unkind very loudly at the implied insult.

“So anyway I came out here and saw you movin’ all graceful and stuff.” Again Naruto paused looked at him as if to try and keep eye contact and then failed, “then I sorta remembered that night that we uh….”

Gaara took a quick breath in at the reminder as an image flashed through his mind. Even though he had said they would keep it casual and that they could repeat it, they had not. Or at least not yet, and with that thought in mind Gaara felt his cheeks warm.

“Had sex,” Gaara finished for him with a voice that was steadier than he felt.

“Right,” Naruto replied with a grin on his face.

Gaara looked away as Shukaku rumbled something far to inappropriate to really think about longer than it took the beast to say, “I am heading back now as I am done.”

Naruto chuckled, “right.”

Gaara walked past him calmly enough but when a hand reached out and grabbed a hold of his upper left arm his heart slammed into his throat. Slowly Gaara lifted his eyes up into Naruto’s face and saw the want in them, he imagined they were mirroring his own. When Naruto leaned in closer he didn’t resist but he didn’t help either.

“Hey Gaalra?” Naruto said rolling the r in his name making him shiver.

Gaara repressed a groan, “yeah?”

Naruto leaned in further and brushed their cheeks together then bumped their noses in a very animal like greeting, “ you think maybe you want to do that again?”

The redhead bit the inside of his cheek, “the sex?”

A chuckle rumbled up from Naruto’s chest deep and rich, “isn’t that what we’ve been talking about?”

“I had to be sure, I never know what I might be agreeing to with you,” Gaara replied.

“So you agree then?” Naruto asked his lips stretching out into a feral grin.

Without his permission the sand rose up pushing them together, if they hadn’t been the same size or in the right position they would have just bumped together awkwardly. Thankfully it had all been just right and now they were kissing lips quickly parting allowing tongues to slide against one another.

Naruto’s hand let go of Gaara’s upper arm to brush back against a pale neck and cup the back of the redhead’s skull. Gaara let out a moan into the other’s mouth when Naruto pulled slightly on his hair. The two parted for a moment looked at one another before hands flew to remove clothing.

Naruto gripped both sides of Gaara’s jacket and pulled, ripping the buttons, to get to the body he knew was underneath. The redhead found his arms shoved back and held behind him as the blond took off the article of clothing. Growling low in his throat Gaara jerked out of his confines and tore at Naruto’s orange jacket to toss it to the ground before ripping the black mess clean off his torso.

“Fuck, that’s the second damn shirt you’ve done that too,” he hissed.

“Consider it pay back for my ruined jacket.” He growled back before shoving Naruto to the ground.

The blond landed on his back with an audible ‘oof’ the orange coat and shredded shirt Gaara had tossed there moments before stopping the blond from getting to scratched up. Naruto’s eyes flashed red a moment before they went blue once more as Gaara lifted off his own black mesh shirt to drop it to the ground. Under his skin Shukaku hummed his approval as Gaara came to stand over the blond a foot to either side of Naruto’s hips. As he dropped to his knees, Naruto sat up to meet him half way and their mouths crashed together.

Naruto raked his hands up the redhead’s back feeling the coarseness of the sand shield against his finger tips, Gaara’s arms wrapped around his shoulder his hands fisting in his hair. Groaning low in his throat when Gaara pulled on his hair, he rocked his hips up into the other man earning a moan and a rock back.

“Fuck yeah,” he panted when the kiss broke.

Even if they had sex every damn day he didn’t see himself getting bored with it, he could be as mean or as rough as he chose to be, and it was great. Kyuubii purred happy to come out and play the demons chakra coming out and brushing over Gaara’s demon seal on his back. A low sound rumbled out of the redhead and said man bit into his ear lobe only to suck on it shortly there after.

Nails slid down a well toned chest leaving red trails in their wake, and Naruto gasped and leaned in to the torture for more. Those same hands fussed over the front of his pants before ripping them as well. Naruto chuckled and looked down at his ruined pants.

“Now how the hell am I suppose to walk back?”

“I’ll do a transportation jutsu when we’re done,” Gaara replied breathlessly.

Naruto groaned, gods did this man sound fuckin’ hot when turned on, “if you can do that then do it now.”

Gaara made an impatient sound in the back of his throat, “if I did it now I’d leave some part of us here as I’m to hard to concentrate properly. Now. Shut. The. Hell. Up.”

Naruto wasn’t going to argue with that command and reached around Gaara to rip up his pants as well. If he had to have ripped pants then so would Gaara. Though if last time was any indication to go by, their cloths would be ripped to shreds anyway once the demons came out to play.

Shivering at that thought he could feel his grip over the Kyuubii lessen and the fox chuckled stretching out and fiery hot chakra rose up around the two. Gaara groaned and the blond felt sand curl up around him before it swung out to clash with his chakra, the demons were now in a dominance war. Mouths met tongue warring for dominance. It didn’t matter that they both knew Gaara was the one who would be fucked, because the redhead could still be the one in control.

Naruto wasn’t quite sure why he had thought to bring lube, but he suspected that was Kyuubii’s influence. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out the small tube right before he found himself stark naked against an equally naked Gaara as their demons’ chakras divested them of clothing.

“Impatient things aren’t they…” Naruto murmured against Gaara’s lips.

Gaara raked his fingers down his back, “I told you to shut up.”

Naruto shivered, that he had, but he couldn’t help it. It amused him that Kyuu couldn’t actually fuck anything until Gaara and he were joined, the demons were trying to hurry them along. Naruto uncapped the tube behind Gaara’s back and poured some into his palm. Smearing it over his fingers he lowered his left hand to the cleft of man’s ass and snuck a finger up into the crevice to tease.

Gaara’s body jerked and hands fisted in blond hair and yanked back to look into dark blue eyes filled with amused lust, “don’t tease me.”

Naruto smirked, “What are you gonna do about it?”

Gaara lowered his mouth to Naruto’s throat and licked up nipping at his earlobe before biting down hard enough to draw a little bit of blood. The redhead spent time sucking for a moment before raking his bottom teeth up over the abused flesh stopping at his ear.

“Hurry up and fuck me,” he rumbled out dangerously into his ear.

The blond whimpered and did as told slipping a finger up into the redhead, who yanked on his hair like reigns to a horse and rocked into him. It was almost to much, and yet it wasn’t enough but Naruto suspected if Gaara really tried he’d be orgasming from it all. His swollen cock twitched between them throbbing and red, Gaara’s wasn’t much different and looking down at them next to each other made Naruto groan low in his throat.

Adding a second finger he scissored loosening the tight muscle, he was starting to get impatient and he could now hear the wails of the two demons. Leaning forward he licked a trail up Gaara’s body tasting the salty skin and sand. Adding a third finger he choked on his breath when Gaara wrapped a hand around his dick slicking it up with lube. Naruto didn’t spend time figuring out how he’d gotten the tube, Shukaku was helping them out.

He withdrew his fingers and Gaara positioned the head of the cock at the entrance before slowly lowering down onto it. Naruto whined through his teeth as the tight heat enveloped him, Kyuubii howled out, to the mourning sky, his claim over Shukaku. The sound reverberated though his body and only turned him on more, Gaara growled and kissed Naruto passionately making him moan.

The redhead didn’t wait for a time to adjust to the feeling of being filled, once fully seated he rose back up causing the blond to cry out from the sensation. Shukaku and Kyuubii were more than happy with it and the demon chakra blazed brightly around them before dying back down to its usual glow. Naruto’s fangs elongated as did his nails, while Gaara’s green eyes turned gold his nails too growing out.

“Oh fuck,” Naruto groaned resting his forehead on Gaara’s chest as he rocked up into the redhead.

“Harder,” Gaara panted into his ear.

“That’s right bitch,” Naruto heard himself murmur in Kyuubii’s voice a tongue dragging out over hot flesh.

Gaara smirked and pulled back on his blond hair now tipped in the color of Kyuubii’s fur to stare down into red eyes, “Fuck me faster demon.”

Naruto groaned and his eyes rolled to the back of head, his left hand tightened around Gaara’s right hip and he slammed up into the redhead as he tugged him down. Gaara’s head fell back and a horse cry came from parted lips. Somewhere in the back of Naruto’s head he was sure they shouldn’t be so turned on from fucking with each others demons, but as it was said demons didn’t seem to care that they were.

Sliding a hand up to cup the back of Gaara’s neck he dug his fingers in for more purchase and felt the skin break under the pressure. Gaara didn’t seem to mind, and so he didn’t either. Kyuubii purred his pleasure from the drawn blood and flexed his power around them. Gaara lifted his hips and slammed them down into his which caused Naruto and the demons to cry out loudly.

“Naruto, harder faster,” Gaara moaned into his ear. “More.”

“Fuck yes,” he hissed and did as ordered.

Gaara’s tongue slide up the side of his face along his hair line, and nails dug into his back and he growled low in his throat a warning to Shukaku he knew. He could feel Gaara’s mouth spread into a smirk against his cheek.

“That the best you can do beast?” He heard Shukaku mock.

It took talent to goad taunt and turn on two different people at once, but Gaara was managing it pretty seamlessly. Naruto knew as well as Kyuu did that if the redhead didn’t want Shukaku to say those things he wouldn’t, and the same went for Naruto and the Kyuubii. Anybody else would be scared shitless that they were getting fucked by two different entities at once, the fact that Gaara was excited by the whole thing only made it harder for Naruto to control anything.

“You want to play do you bitch?” He chuckled licking a trail up Gaara’s chest, “Cuz I can play.”

With that Naruto bit down on the juncture of neck and shoulder and pulled down on Gaara’s hips. The redhead cried out his hands convulsing into his back and scratching downward. If not for his ability to heal relatively quick he might have been pissed about that.

“Look at me Gaara,” He commanded tugging on his neck.

Gaara’s eyes slid to his gold and red meeting in a haze of lust before lips crashed down into one another again. They were close, the demons even closer, their movements fast and desperate. The air around them heated up by the chakra and the sun now fully crested over the horizon, they panted trying to reach climax.

Gaara could feel the burn of chakra on his right thigh and the back of his neck, it felt painful but good at the same time and that knowledge sent him over the edge his semen splashing up between them as he cried out. With tight muscles clamping around him Naruto managed to rock one last time into the redhead before he too came deep into the man riding him.

Naruto collapsed back into the sand brining Gaara with them and they simply laid there catching their breath. Grains of sand clung to his sweaty skin and hair, but Naruto didn’t care closing his eyes against the brightness of the sun. It was barely after dawn and he could already feel the heat of the day. Living in a desert had to suck.

“We should go.” Gaara said rolling off of him to grab what was left of his clothes.

Naruto slowly sat up and felt muscles protest, looking at the redhead he could see the man wanted to pass out, “you gonna be able to transport us like that?”

Gaara sent him a glare and Naruto shut his mouth and picked up his own shredded clothes. Note to self, never insinuate that Gaara can’t do something when really fucking tired after having sex. Gaara shrugged on his knee length jacket for what little modesty it provided and came to stand next to him.

“Hold you breath or the sand with burn you’re lungs.” Gaara informed him, his voice rough with exhaustion.

Naruto nodded took a deep breath and held it, the sand came up around them and the blond could feel the pressure beat down on him. When he blinked they were in Gaara’s chambers and the red head tossed his jacket and shredded cloths off to the side and collapsed into his bed slipping under the one white cotton sheet.

Naruto looked over the redhead and winced, wondering if he looked any better. A hand print was clearly visible on Gaara’s neck as was the bite mark and scratches down his back. Naruto couldn’t see it, but he suspected where his other hand had been was also welted up from the heat of chakra too. It didn’t seem to bother Gaara in the least, and Naruto figured it had a lot to do with the sand shield he had covering his body, but he had no doubt that it had touched his skin anyway. It had to have to leave marks like that on the redhead.

“I heal just like you do only slower now stop staring,” Gaara told him his voice muffled by the pillow.

“Yeah, yeah.” He huffed and crawled into bed.

Carefully he ran his hand down the pale back tracing over the scars he couldn’t see but knew was there from when Gaara had sacrificed his freedom to take the demon back. He shivered at the memory and dropped his hand away not wishing to think on it any more. It had been terrible and the redhead had died for a second time only to be revived by subduing the beast and taking on the chakra.

“Go to sleep Naruto, you’re thinking is keeping me awake.”

Naruto chuckled and closed his eyes, he would comply if only because Gaara didn’t get to sleep very much these days. Hopefully he’d get a pretty good nap in after having sex this time like he had last time.

//TeLL the BlOnd if he DoEs nOT lIstEN I wiLL bEAt hiM.// Shukaku grumbled.

“Shut up Shukaku you bitch worse than Kyuu.” Naruto replied without really thinking about it.

Gaara and Naruto’s eyes snapped open and they looked at one another with surprise.

//Yes, yes interesting development, think about it after we all fuckin’ sleep.// Kyuubii growled irritated.

“You heard that didn’t you,” Naruto stated.

“Yes…”

//KYAAA, slEEp aLrEAdy!!// Shukaku screeched.

“That’s new…” Naruto murmured quite worried what the hell that meant.

Kyuubii growled and slammed against his cage causing both Gaara and Naruto to wince. They looked at each other in worry for a moment before taking deep breaths.

“We’ll worry over this later.” Gaara stated.

“Right, later. If I don’t get some fuckin’ sleep I’m gonna have a splitting headache.”

//FINalLy.// //Fuck.// The two demons said at once in exasperated tones.

Lying back down they closed their eyes to sleep, which came much easier than suspected. The odd connection they now shared forgotten with the over whelming need for sleep.

************

The knock came again and Naruto sighed walking towards the door in nothing but a low riding red towel, a smaller white one hanging around his shoulders as he took a corner to dry out his inner ear. He glanced over at the bed and rolled his eyes at the passed out Gaara who had one arm slung over the side of the bed, the white cotton sheet only covering his ass and upper right thigh as he slept soundly on his stomach.

It was almost noon, and oddly nobody had come calling until now. Grabbing the handle of the door he yanked it open and stared at a shocked Temari with her left hand poised to knock again. She blinked, taking his mostly naked state in before her cheeks began to burn. Naruto flashed her a devilish smirk and leaned against the door he had open.

“What cha need Temari?” He asked.

He watched her eyes slide over the passed out Gaara taking in his scratched up back her eyes widening comically. Behind her was Matsuri who’s eyes were riveted on the line of the towel that hung off his hips. His smirk widened as Kyuubii became interested in the goings on. When Matsuri realized he was looking her she averted her eyes away a blush tinting her cheeks as well. With a chuckle he waved his hand in front of Temari’s face to get her attention once more.

She snapped back and cleared her throat, “there are delegates here to speak with Gaara.”

Naruto looked at her then slid his eyes over to Gaara who looked to be dead, the only indication was the rising and falling of his back as he breathed, “I don’t think he’ll be able to see them just yet.”

Temari followed his gaze and made a sound in the back of her throat, “quite possibly right.”

He looked back over at her, “you okay there?”

Kyuubii chuckled, // she’s interested kit, a little mortified to see her brother like that but interested all the same.//

“Uh, yeah..” she breathed. “Is Gaara okay?”

“Heh, yeah he was like that last time too.”

“Last time?” Her eyes widened, “Kankuro, the party oh god it all makes sense.”

“You two are lovers then?” Matsuri asked sounding disappointed.

Naruto wasn’t sure about what though, he knew she found him attractive, but he also knew about her thing for Gaara and the night they’d shared once upon a time. Gaara wasn’t interested in her, and had confessed that it had been one big mistake. Naruto nodded in understanding, when a demon rutted you had to fuck something or rip something apart. Or both he thought, as his mind flashed back to their first time the night of the party.

“Not really, we’re friends with benefits.” Naruto explained.

Matsuri seemed to think on that one, and the way her body language changed Naruto was certain, as was Kyuu, that if he flirted with her a bit she might let him go with her to bed. Naruto’s blue eyes slid down her body, she had a nice shape a good set of breasts. He could do her.

//She could be fun, Shukaku says she bends in some interesting ways.// Kyuubii told him sounding interested.

Temari’s eyes were looking at him long and hard, then scaled down his body. He could tell if she wasn’t with Shikamaru she might have gone for him. Though he wasn’t sure he would have gone for it, given he knew of the man’s feeling for her. Friends just didn’t do other friends’ love interests. An actual wise thing that the perverted old man had told him on their travels.

“Naruto stop checking out my student and sister or I’ll rearrange your face.” Gaara mumbled not bothering to move his body or open his eyes.

The two women jumped at the sound of his voice, Matsuri leaned in to peek at him and meeped when she saw him her face going beat red. Naruto almost felt sorry for her, almost.

“A guy can look can’t he?”

//I’d like to see you try you fuckin’ cu-// Kyuubii started to say before Naruto pressed his chakra down on him.

“Not when it’s these two you aren’t.” he said before flipping Naruto the finger.

Naruto knew the bird was for the demon, and so did the demon as he growled in his cage. Temari seemed confused but said nothing.

“Gaara there are-”

“Tell them this evening around seven. We can dine and talk.” He said interrupting her.

Naruto smirked, Gaara was agitated he never interrupted anyone other wise. Temari took the hint and snapped her mouth shut. Matsuri couldn’t see Gaara and Gaara couldn’t see her but she bowed when Temari did.

“Yes Kazekage-sama.” Temari replied and stepped back.

Naruto watched them leave his eyes sliding down to their asses before the door was slammed shut almost taking half his side with it.

“Christ Gaara the hell was that for?” He yelped.

“I could hear Kyuubii.”

Naruto paused and a strange silence fell over them, “so we can hear each others demons now.”

“It appears that way,” Gaara said lifting himself up off the bed to turn around and look at him.

Naruto could feel his demon roll his eyes, //don’t go freakin’ out. You two exchanged chakra, because of the seals it added to it which caused this.//

“Yeah that makes everything better.” Naruto said staring up at the Kyuubii now inside himself.

“Yours is different than mine.” Gaara stated causing Naruto to jump.

“Holy shit we can go back and forth too?”

//YeSSss// Shukaku hissed and Naruto swung around to see his world fade into Gaara’s and stared.

“I think I just shit myself,” Naruto whispered.

Gaara seemed more calm about it all, which was slightly irritating, “how does this work then?”

//You and Naruto will always know what’s going on if you decided to tell one another at long distances.// Kyuubii sneered at the redhead who’s back was turned to him.

Gaara had balls of steel to do something like that, not even Naruto would do such a disrespectful thing. Shukaku seemed displeased by this as well and whined.

“When we are close then this happens?” Gaara continued ignoring both demons his eyes taking in everything.

//YeSss,// Shukaku moaned.

“Wait, wait. I don’t want Gaara hearing all my thoughts when we are around each other.” Naruto huffed.

//You can learn to block it, like closing a door.// The fox explained sounding as if it should have been obvious.

“Will the seals look different then?” Gaara questioned finally turning around to look at the Kyuubii.

The fox narrowed his eyes at the redhead who didn’t so much as blink, // yes they will.//

“Why did this happen?” Gaara asked.

“Neh Gaalra he already answered that,” Naruto replied.

“No, he explained that we were connected because our chakra mingled together just right. I want to know why something like that would happen. I imagine it can’t just happen to anyone.” Gaara answered without looking away from the demon.

The fox lowered his head down his nose pressing into Gaara’s stomach, his lips stretching up into a sadistic grin. Gaara remained calm as ever his arms crossed over his chest and stared at the beast. Naruto found it amazing that the redhead could hold his ground with only a pair of hip hugging black pants on, he imagined that Gaara could have done the same even while naked. Shukaku pulled at his ears and made a distressed tone in the back of his throat.

//You’re a bit to smart for my liking, boy…// Kyuubii growled.

“Just answer my question.”

Kyuubii chuckled, //it happened because you two vibe well enough together allowing for this bond to happen bitch.//

Gaara uncurled his crossed hands and Naruto’s eyes went wide when he placed a hand and slide it up Kyuu’s snout. Naruto shivered as a strange feeling of being caressed washed over him, Kyuubii purred and his eyes slid half way shut.

//You can play with chakra,// the fox panted as another vibe washed over him.

“What are you doing Gaalra?” Naruto asked.

“Rolling my chakra over him softly,” Gaara replied looking over at him. “It’s fascinating that I can actually touch him while in this place.”

Naruto was going to have to learn to do that so he could do it back to Gaara, it felt incredible. Naruto closed his eyes as the feeling washed over him again and when he opened them he was back in the bedroom. Gaara was still lying in the bed naked, Naruto was going to have to ask him how he could give himself clothes in that place when he didn’t have any on.

“I suppose there are worse things than being connected as we are,” Gaara said while standing up from the bed to start getting dressed.

“I s’pose, “ Naruto conceded watching Gaara move across the room in the nude.

Gaara slid on a pair of black sleep pants very similar to the ones he’d been wearing in the demon’s keep, before running his fingers through his messy hair to untangle it. Gaara reached back into his drawer and tossed a pair of royal blue pants at Naruto and smirked when they landed in his face.

“Get dressed, we can go eat some lunch.” Gaara told the blond.

Naruto dragged the pants of his face and glared half heartedly at the man before sliding the pants on up under the towel before removing it and tossing it into the bin. His stomach grumbled, and he smiled at the redhead. Gaara was right, there were more important things to think about than this weird new connection.

“You have ramen I can eat here?” Naruto asked.

“Yes, and you already knew that as you’ve been here before.” Gaara replied.

“That’s out in the village, I don’t think I’m gonna go walking, half dressed, around your village to eat my favorite food.”

Gaara rolled his eyes, “we can order in.”

Naruto’s eyes widened, “you can do that here?”

Gaara blinked at him, “yes.”

“I don’t get that kind of service in Konoha.”

Gaara sighed and the two walked from the room in nothing but the sleep pants, as the redhead slid on a shirt he left open in the front. Naruto knew the only reason why he had one on was because his back wasn’t fully healed yet, no need to cause people to worry. Suna was so much more relaxed than in Konoha about dress code in the kage tower, but then they were pretty stiff handed in everything else so he supposed it was a compromise. That or Gaara was just relaxed because Naruto was there, which was the more likely scenario.

Food, and then they would probably walk the halls talking about everything and nothing. It was the way they were, and Naruto was thankful he had such a friend.

~END~


Hope all of you enjoyed this oneshot. .... Dare I ask if any of you are waiting for a NaruSasuNaru oneshot in my NaruSasuGaa Arc? Let me know... I have one in my head, but... there's so many NaruSasuNaru fics I'm not sure I want to put it up. ^^ Sorry if you felt anyone was OOC I didn't mean for it to go that way. *sigh*
